Richmond, this should work, I think:

on scalePic pImg
put min(the height of this stack / the height of pImg, the width of this stack / the width of img pImg) into tFactor
  set the height of img pImg to the height of img pImg * tFactor
  set the width of img pImg to the width of img pImg * tFactor
  set the top of img pImg to 0
  set the left of img pImg to 0
end scalePic

Best,

Mark

If I import a JPG, PNG, GIF or other image into a
stack and it is larger than the card there seems to be
no way that I can shrink it to fit as the SCALE
command does with EPS or QT imports:

for instance:

set the scale of img "RUBBISH.jpg" to 2

does nothing

Now, it is possible to scale non EPS images, but it
means mucking around mathematically:

if the width of img "RUBBISH.jpg">400 then
put the height of img "RUBBISH.jpg" into HITE
put the width of img "RUBBISH.jpg" into WIDF
put (WIDF/400) into FAKTOR
set the width of img "RUBBISH.jpg" to 400
set the height of img "RUBBISH.jpg" to (HITE/FAKTOR)
end if

of course, if the height of img "RUBBISH.jpg" is still
outwith the boundaries of your stack you have to "do
it all over again".

What would be jolly nice (!) would be something that
would allow one to determine the "shrinkage factor"
required, and shrink the image.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
